Hi, my name is Chad.(bunge79 else were) I was told about this site last night and after an hour of looking at it I like the no (BS or Bashing) as another site. I am 29 years old with a wife (Kristi) and my 2 siberian Husky's (the kids). My wife and I are both in the military stationed in DC for the past 2 years, but live in Bowie. I fish from a Cobia 256 express that I now keep on the Severn. I have mostly fished Florida so I am still trying to learn this bay which is harder then I thought. I joined to post reports when I am lucky enough to catch fish and learn from you the experts.

Also my boat is put away for the winter but come spring, summer, and fall I fish 2-3 times a week by myself 95% of the time and am looking for some friends to teach me how to fish my boat. Let me know if you are interested.

Thanks
Chad

Welcome aboard Chad. I'll be glad to go out with you on your boat in the spring if you are interested. Try to have it ready to splash by mid march as it is much easier to learn before the crowds on opening day................Mark

Welcome Chad. I think you'll like fishing with the people here. You'll certainly learn more than you thought possible.

Welcome to the board. Your boat is about 5 minutes from my house, any time you are looking for someone to go out let me know.

Welcome Chad. This site will be every bit as helpful as TF. If you have a question, don't hesitate to post it right here. Plenty of top notch fisherman are regulars on this site. Don't over-look replying to requests for HOs. A great way to cut the learning curve by years and a fairly inexpensive way to get out on the water. I plan to be looking for a few again next week. Don't hesitate to send me a private message (PM) with any questions you don't want to broadcast to everyone. I was going to warn you about Baldzilla (the resident punching bag), but I need to get my new rain coat from him first

. Again, welcome...Don

Thanks for the welcome guy and advice. I will be leaving the boat winterized this year just cause I already did it, but hope to jump on some HO's to learn a thing or two. Don my schedule is kinda weird right now, but will keep contact you if I can go.

Thanks,
Chad
